Natsume's farm simulation series makes its debut on the PlayStation with Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. It is the first Harvest Moon game for a non-Nintendo console. Starting with a few rudimentary implements and very little money, players begin the arduous task of reviving their grandfather's farm and thereby claiming their place as its rightful heir. Players are given three years to achieve this goal. A year consists of four seasons, each of which lasts 30 days. Different crops can be planted each season, but before the seeds can be planted, the land must be cleared and then the soil tilled. Seeds must also be watered until the fruit or vegetable matures. Once the crops are ready for harvest, they can be placed in a shipping bin where they'll be collected and paid for. In addition to farming, players will interact with local villagers and partake in seasonal events such as the Tomato Festival and Fireworks Display. As more money is earned, players can expand their farm and begin to raise livestock such as chickens and cows. Read less

Behold: MY CHILDHOOD.

I bought my playstation at 10 years old in a garage sale for $50 (it was a steal hahaha). This was one of the few games I had for it, and I was addicted. I replayed it about 4x and each time I swore I'd romance one of the other girls (the nurse! the bookstore girl!) but... …

Behold: MY CHILDHOOD.

I bought my playstation at 10 years old in a garage sale for $50 (it was a steal hahaha). This was one of the few games I had for it, and I was addicted. I replayed it about 4x and each time I swore I'd romance one of the other girls (the nurse! the bookstore girl!) but... Anne was and will always be the love of my Harvest Moon life.

This game... where you enslave tiny elves to run your gardens for you and spend all your days mining and baking cookies to give girls so they'll marry you. Harvest Moon is MY FAV.
